I keep all important passwords and information in our inventory software
that I use GLPI. Only three admins have access to this software. I'm
just an assistant, but at least others can gain access to things in case
something happens.
We just had to go through a "pandemic" type deal for backup plans not
too long ago. My boss was forced to write down where we store all
passwords, and give an admin username and password to access the
inventory software to the VPs. This is stored and locked then in the VPs
office, from what I understand.
Basically, as long as they know they have access, or can at least get
access, there are no issues then in case the IT department vanishes.
